Tax Rate Struck Same As Last Year Town Council Holds Regular July Meeting— Will Repair Town Hail. The regular meeting of the town council was held in the council cham- bers on Monday evening: Mayor J. J. Cluff presided. Members present were Reeve Scott and Councillors. M. A. Reid, J. E. Keating, Chas, Holmes and F. Sills. Minutes of the last meeting were read and confirm- ed. The report of the finance com- mittee was adopted as read. Bylaw No. 415, setting the tax rate, was given its several readings and passed. The taxrate remains the same as last year and is made up as follows: County, 3.6 mills; library 1 mill; relief 1,9 mill, general 21 mills, col- legiate 6 mills, Public School 9.5 mills; Separate School 9 mills, The tax rate for Separate School support- ers is 42.5 mills and for Public School supporters 43 mills. Councillor Sills called attention to the fact that council had less than 11 mills to deal with, out of the total tax rate; even the general purpose rate included debenture payments, etc., not under council's control. Clerk D. H, Wilson said the assessment is down $1,006,00.. The appointment of a representa- tive to confer with other municipal- ities regarding the appeal against the recent equalized assessment of Hur- on county, was considered and Reeve Scott was authorized to act in this capacity. It was understood no action would be likely until September, but that Stephen and Goderich had taken steps to appeal the equalization. In answer to an inquiry the Clerk said the school debentures were ex- pected to be ready about July 22u2, following ratification. The property committee presented estimates on the work on the fire hall door and repairing loose bricks on the corner of the town hall and re- pairing the portico. The work will be done soon.

AVAUGE S Jeweller and Optometrist MISS MARGARET ROBISON The death occurred on Friday, July 7th, •at Mixs Margaret Elizabeth. Rob- ison, a !highly respected resident of Seaforth, at her home on Sperling Street. Miss Robison was in her 90th year and was a daughter of pioneer residents of this district. She was born in Darlington Township, Dnrr- isanr County, a daughter of ,the late Alexander Rdbison, a native of Fer- managh County, Ireland, and her mother, Mary .Vaneteambung, a nat-' ive of Vermont. When she was about four years old the family moved to Tuckersmith. They came by way of Toronto, which was then called "Muddy Little York." They ;brought with them .from Darlington a span of 'horses, a yoke of oxen and four cows. Tuckersmith was mostly solid _(bush at .that time. They settled on 100 acres 'bought from the Canada 'Com- pany at v. an acre. When they later moved to Hallett Township the price of land had risen to $12 an acre. The family lived in Hullett, near Harlock for many years, Miss Robi- son livedthrough the pioneer days and possessed many of -the sterling qualities -characteristic of those days. She learned to spin and weave on the 'Ry -loom during her early years. She enjoyed quilting even in her last years. At the tine of her 05th birth- day she put a quilt on the !frame two days before her birthday and ladies who called to see her on her birth- day, which incidentally was July 112, were amazed to see her remarkable quickness as she worked, 'unassisted, until she completed the quilt that day. She often remarked that there was plenty of work but that she never neglected reading the Bible; it was her guide through life. Miss Robison was -of a generous, kindly nature, and was 'held in high esteem by all who .knew leer, Following the death of her ]brother, Alexander Robison, she came to live in Harpurhey for about thirty years and in 1927 moved to Seaforth, •Miss Rolbison was the last of a family of five brothers and sisters. Her mother lived to the age o'f 606. Miss Robison was able to be active until last year 'hut had !been ,gradually failing in strength and about a week 'before her death her condition 'be- came serious, passing away on Friday evening, about 10 o'clock, The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon from her late residence, Her pastor, Rev. H. V. Workman, of Northside !United Church, con- ducted t'he services. 16any beautiful flowers bore testimony to .the esteem in which the deceased was held. In- terment took place in Constance Cemetery. The pallbearers were Rob- ert .Reid, Matthew Armstrong, 'J. M. Robertson, Tions, Blake, W. Roger- son and Angus Reid. Among those iron a distance at- tending the funeral were Mrs. George Topping, Toronto; Mr. George. Beat- tie, Clinton; Mr. and Mrs. 'John Beattie, Chesley, and Mr. and Mrs. MacKenzie Beattie, Alliston. A -loving friend, 'kind and true, . No friend on earth like her well find, For all of urs she did her 'best, And then God !gave her eternal nest. She is not dead. for she lives on. In •the hearts <9 those who love her. Deep in our hearts lies a .picture !Of a loved one laid to rest, In memory's frame we'ethall 'keep it, Because •she was one of the lbes.t, CROMARTY Mrs. Robertson and son John spent Sunday at Grand Bend. The Ladies' Aid held their month- ly meeting in the basement of the church on Thursday afternoon. Miss Mary Gorle of Toronto is hol- idaying in the village. Owing tc the illness of Rev. Mr. Readie, Rev. lIdr. Young of Hensall occupied the pulpit of the Presbyter- ian Church on Sunday afternoon. The service will be held in the afternoons instead of the mornings during July., '• .
